Be a Weather Privacy Policy
1. Who and what this policy covers
Ilias Henderickx is the creator and independent developer of Be a Weather and is responsible for this project’s handling of information. This policy covers the game and its support website. Be a Weather is a game in development in which players take the Weather role or try to survive weather hazards. The project is not operated by Epic Games or Roblox.
Contact Ilias Henderickx at sianhenderickx@hotmail.com about the project’s own handling of information. Separate providers have their own policies. Features are still being developed; this policy describes website behaviour and the game’s development integration.
2. Information used by the website
You can read this website without creating a website account. The site code does not add advertising analytics, tracking pixels or application cookies. Search runs in your browser. Text entered in the report helper is not submitted to the developer or saved in browser storage. It remains in the page until you leave, reload or clear it, unless you copy it or download a report yourself.
When this website is served through Cloudflare Pages, delivering a page involves technical requests to the hosting provider. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its own processing. Additional analytics or other integrations would require an updated description before being enabled.
3. Information used by the development game
- Local profile information: character selections, appearance, settings and saved progress used to restore your game preferences.
- Account information: Epic account identifiers and display names used by the sign-in integration to identify a player.
- Social information: authorized friends and presence information used by the friends and invitation integration.
- Session information: connection, room/session and character-appearance information used to connect participants and display the session.
- Diagnostics: development logs and error information used to investigate failures. Logs may include account or connection identifiers and should be reviewed before sharing.
The availability of online features depends on the current build and access configuration. This list does not mean that a public matchmaking service, cloud-save system or public download is already available.
4. Why information is used
The described information supports the features you use: sign-in, saved character preferences, online sessions, friends and invitations, and technical troubleshooting. Messages sent to the contact address are used to understand and respond to enquiries. The website has no advertising or purchase system. Reading a page does not give consent to unrelated processing. Review optional account permissions through the relevant account controls.
5. Where information goes
The game uses Epic Online Services for its account and online integration. Depending on the enabled feature, session participants can receive information needed to identify players, display their characters and maintain the shared game session. Do not put sensitive personal information into a public display name or share a private-room code outside its intended group.
Website requests are delivered by the selected hosting provider. Reports are not sent anywhere by this website. If you choose to share a downloaded report through a separate channel, review the file first and include only what is needed.
Epic’s own handling of information is explained in the Epic Games Privacy Policy. This policy does not make promises about Epic’s collection, retention or deletion practices.
6. Storage and retention
Website report text: held in the current page, without a submission database. Leaving or reloading clears the page’s text. Copied or downloaded reports remain wherever you save them until you remove them.
Local game saves: remain on your device until removed or overwritten. Removing saves can reset your character, settings and progress. Uninstalling does not necessarily remove all saved files.
Friends and session lists: the inspected online integration maintains these in runtime memory and refreshes or clears them when lists are refreshed or sessions are left. This is separate from diagnostic logs and provider-held records.
Diagnostics: local development logs may remain until manually removed or rotated by the engine. There is no promised project-wide automatic expiry. A log you email to the developer becomes part of the support correspondence.
Contact correspondence: messages and attachments remain in the contact mailbox until manually deleted; no automatic support-ticket expiry is configured. You can request deletion of correspondence and project-held copies using the contact address. Any necessary ongoing issue handling or applicable retention obligation that prevents deletion will be explained in the reply.
Provider-held information: consult each provider’s own privacy information. Removing a local save does not remove information held by a separate provider.
7. Access, correction and deletion
You can read the site without using the report helper, clear unsent text and remove downloaded reports. Use the game’s available settings to update preferences. Before deleting saves, back up anything you want to keep.
For access to, correction of or deletion of Be a Weather information held by Ilias Henderickx, email sianhenderickx@hotmail.com with the subject “Be a Weather privacy request”. Describe the request and provide only enough context to locate the relevant interaction. Proportionate confirmation may be needed to avoid disclosing someone else’s information. Never send passwords, authentication codes, recovery codes or tokens.
Depending on applicable law and the processing involved, rights can include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent where consent is the basis. Contact the same address to exercise applicable rights or raise a concern. Any limitations on locating or removing information should be explained in the reply. You can also raise concerns with the relevant data-protection authority.
For Epic-account information, use Epic’s own account controls or official support. Downloading a local report on this website does not send a privacy request, and deleting local files does not delete provider-held records.
8. Security and data minimization
Do not include passwords, private session codes, recovery codes or tokens in reports. Limit diagnostics to information relevant to the issue. The website does not ask for your Epic password or implement its own Epic login form. No online system should be described as completely secure.
9. Younger players and audience
This website provides general game and support information without website account registration. Do not include unnecessary information about a child in a report. Parents or guardians with concerns about information sent to the project can contact Ilias Henderickx. Applicable platform account requirements continue to apply. This page does not announce a public-game age rating or release.
10. External providers and changes
The online integration uses Epic services, this website is prepared for Cloudflare Pages, and the contact address uses Microsoft’s email service. Providers can operate in different locations. Their own policies explain their processing, including the Microsoft Privacy Statement. The website has no payment processor, advertising integration or submitted-report database. This policy must be updated when the project’s arrangements change.
11. Privacy contact
Ilias Henderickx — creator of Be a Weather. Email sianhenderickx@hotmail.com for project privacy enquiries and requests. This is the public contact address designated for the project. Your email application sends the message; this website does not send it for you. Epic Support handles Epic-account matters, not the developer’s responsibilities for Be a Weather.
12. Changes to this policy
The date at the top identifies this version. Material changes to the public service’s processing should be reflected here and communicated appropriately. The extensive community rulebook explains player behaviour; it does not replace this privacy policy.
